CompUSA in Raleigh Going Out of Business

e-mail print friendly
Raleigh, N.C. — Raleigh will soon have one less electronics store, after CompUSA announced plans to close their Glenwood Avenue store.

The store is the only CompUSA shop in the Triangle area. It's one of 126 stores the Dallas-based company plans to close. The company is closing more than half its locations as part of a "realignment strategy.”

The stores in Charlotte and Greensboro will remain open.

I hate compusa like the rest of you but in reguards to dumbledors comment I worked in tech services and people must understand that warrenty work takes time mainly bc we must get approvals for parts and such you cant expect for it to be "poof" done it does not work that way I wish I was able to tell others that when I was working there.

It is a shame. When they first opened it was a great store - but they never got used to "street" pricing on computers. Once Tiger Direct opened I stopped shopping at this store. I always felt like I could not find anyone to help me. Would be nice if Tiger Direct would open a store in this space so we would not have to travel all the way up Capital Blvd for electronics. Best Buy & Circuit City - pay attention!

Absolutely horrible customer service, not once while in the store did anyone ask if I needed help finding something. Even when ringing out, the cashier acted like I didn't belong there and none of the employees seemed happy being there. Newegg.com and zipzoomfly.com are awesome and much cheaper alternatives. Good riddance, CompUSA.

The other reason besides poor customer service is the prices. They were really out of touch with the market over there. I guess they figured since they were the only "computer store" that they could jack up the prices. In fact, some of their prices were 5 to 10 percent higher than Best Buy and Circuit City. Keep in mind they are not even "computer stores". I get all of my computer parts from newegg.com now anyway so it does not matter to me. I say good riddance.
